Stephen Curry's Game Status Uncertain
Golden State Warriors star guard Stephen Curry's participation in Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings remains unclear. After the team's Tuesday victory over the Phoenix Suns, Curry revealed he has been battling a cold.
Injury and Energy Concerns
Curry reported feeling low on energy following the game and plans to consult with team medical staff before deciding on traveling and playing against the Kings. Despite scoring 28 points and hitting five three-pointers against Phoenix, Curry experienced notable fatigue, especially in the second half.
“I was running out of energy toward the end,” Curry said after the game. “I’ll see how I feel after checking with the medical staff, but we’ll make the smart call.”
Team Challenges and Other Injuries
The Warriors might rest Curry during the second game of a back-to-back matchup. Additionally, forward Jimmy Butler could also miss the game after leaving Tuesday’s contest early due to a back issue. Head Coach Steve Kerr acknowledged the difficulty their roster depth would face if both players are unavailable against Sacramento.
Impact on Betting Market
Uncertainty about Curry’s availability has influenced betting odds, with Sacramento now favored by 3.5 points at home, reflecting concerns over the Warriors’ performance without their full lineup.
